Because essentially when we are saying no to some opportunities, when we are saying no to some offers, we are saying yes to ourselves.
因为我们对某些机遇说“不” 对某些提议说“不”时 其实是对自己说“是”
And how do we choose what do we say no to and what do we say yes to? –By simply asking what do I really, really, really want to do.
那如何选择对什么说“不” 对什么说“是”呢 很简单 问自己究竟想要什么
Simplifying-doing less, rather than more. The key though is to reach optimum levels of simplicity. Because we don't want to simplify too much and go to the other extreme.
简化 宁缺毋滥 关键就是找到最适宜的简化程度 因为过于简化就会走向另一个极端
You see, in a way, it works, as many things work, many psychological phenomenon work, in a curve linear manner. Let me explain.
和其他事物及诸多心理学显现一样 简化与效率是以曲线形式存在 我来解释一下

So let's say we have a graph where this is amount of work. And on this axis we have productivity, creativity and happiness.
这张图表的X轴代表工作量 Y轴代表效率 创造力与快乐
The way it work, the way it looks, is this way, meaning: if our amount of work is too high, that's when we experience the TBD, Too Busy Disorder. We are unhappy; we are not creative; and we are not productive. This is the burn-out. We may be productive and creative for a short while, but this is the burn-out phase.
两者的关系是这样的 如果工作量太大 就会发生TBD 即忙碌紊乱症 我们会不快乐 缺乏创造力 效率低下 精疲力竭 也许短时间能效率和创造力能维持一段时间 但这点代表精疲力竭
On the other hand, if we do too little, that's also not good. And very similar consequences-we are unhappy; we are certainly not productive; and we are not creative.
另一方面 如果我们什么也不做 那也不好 后果相似 我们会不快乐 没有效率 缺乏创新
